Animal Liberation Front rescue hundreds of animals in Italy

“10-10-2007 Brescia

Tonight 2 rabbits, 13 ducks, 2 rats, 10 mice, 9 hens/chickens and about 200 chicks have had their lives changed, freed from the cages of a vivisection lab and safe from the experiments and death they were destined for. For these animals the dream to live free, play in the grass and enjoy sunlight, has come true.

The lab where we took these animals from is in a basement of the “Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Lombardia e dell’Emilia Romagna,” in Brescia. IZS is a state-funded research centre, a huge complex with many buildings, warehouses, offices, sheds and research labs.

The experiments the animals undergo at this centre are carried out for the benefit of farmers. Private animal abuse businesses are sustained and supported by research centres like IZS, where the torture of thousands of animals is paid for with public money.
Many of the animals we saved were used for experiments on vaccines; the Gumboro disease for chickens and MEV for rabbits.
THESE DISEASES POSE NO THREAT TO HUMAN HEALTH
Just a glimpse of what these creature are undergoing: the rabbits inoculated with MEV die of hemorrhages, their organs are then used to produce MEVAX, a vaccine patented by the same IZS of Brescia. During the still ongoing experiments rabbits have died while blood samples were taken directly from the heart.
Mice are infected with a flu virus, a low risk stock, but we handled them with care anyway and they will live isolated from other animals.
A scare created by IZS or the usual defenders of vivisection should be seen just as a pathetic attempt to cover the dirty business of researchers and discredit the actions of those moved by compassion. If there is anyone putting at risk human health it is the scientists, reckless individuals who play with viruses, and farmers, owners of concentration camps where diseases spread easily due to the intensive farming conditions.
It is not an exaggeration to say that all this fury toward sentient and helpless beings, and all this ridiculous science made up of trials done thousands of times with no results, finds its only excuse for existence in fighting diseases spreading in farms due to infections caused by overcrowded conditions, bad hygiene, and stress, all of which help to create a fertile ground for viruses. The only solution is the end of these concentration camps.

Saving these desperate beings was not difficult: we studied the routine of the guards and found the best way to enter one of the labs, in this case a small window at the back, near the railway. Many times we entered to inspect the rooms, finding segregated animals, many in aseptic conditions inside isolators and always with artificial light on. We read through documents about the experiments and took a look at their fridges full of organs, and filmed the sad life of these animals and the agony of dozens of chicks left to die in their cage.
Many animals who we saw in the past weeks were no longer there. They have been sacrificed and we were not in time to save them. To them, and to all those we could not reach, we dedicate this night when passing through the window, scaling a fence, we went out on the railway, towards the dark and the fresh air, towards the end of this nightmare.

Behind us we left an empty and completely devastated lab: isolators damaged, paint on the cages, slogans spraypainted on walls, feed packets destroyed, sinks clogged and rooms flooded.
Untill the last slaughterhouse and the last vivisection lab is burned to the ground.

A.L.F.”

Warning: disturbing footage. Undercover investigation at Chinos Hallmark/Westland slaughterhouse

The Animal Legal Defense Fund, the Humane Society of the United States, Farm Sanctuary, and the Humane Farming Association filed a motion to intervene in U.S. District Court in Fresno, in a lawsuit being brought by meat industry trade associations attempting to overturn a California law banning the use of sick and disabled animals in the food supply. California law was recently strengthened to protect animals and humans after an HSUS investigation at a Chino slaughterhouse exposed horrific abuse of downed cows—many of whom were destined to become ground beef in the National School Lunch Program.

Watch the video of the undercover investigation at Chinos Hallmark/Westland slaughterhouse to see the abuses of desperately sick and injured animals that the coalition of animal protection organizations are fighting to stop. Warning: disturbing footage of animal abuse. Video provided by HSUS.

Approx. 200 protesters stood in the rain at this first protest, speaking out against the animal abuse and neglect that is presently going on at the Toronto Humane Society. The group asked for immediate changes to their policies on euthanasia for humane purposes, re-introduce essential services such as spay/neuter and fostering of animals, as well as the resignation of current President Tim Trow, and his board who hide behind him. The Toronto Humane Society is currently under investigation by the OSPCA.

One 4 All Animal Rescue Clovis New Mexico

Thank you to the folowing who helped One 4All. Roswell Humane,Dixon Animal Protection NM, Bridging The Worlds, Lab Rescue Alberqueque and Alamagordo, Grey Hound Rescue, Steve Estep, Husky Rescue, Wolfsong Ranch, Rodeo NM, Boulder Valley Humane, Co, Chow Chow Rescue, Texas. Judy Babcock, Quixote Humane, Golden Retreiver Rescue ABQ, English Setter Rescue ABQ, Heart snd Soul Sante Fe. And the countless other orgs and individuals.Our Non Profit orginization was started July 2004. We are in the process of working with other groups to start a much needed Spay/Neuter Program. To stop the kiling of an estimated 90.000+ in the shelters of New Mexico and the untold thousands who die outside on our streets abandoned and alone.
Stop the births,stop the killing!
This is also a Great Big Thank you to all the different orginization who helped find these animals a home. We are not taking animals at this point , our concentrations are to raise the funds for Spay/Neuter and education. Please support your local Animal Rescues , they need all the help they can get. The expense of running any Rescue/Humane Society is astronomical. Many don’t survie the first year becaue of this. The problem of the thousands of Homeless Pets will only continue to incease unless we can get these animals sterilized, teach people how to be responsible pet owners and get our City Officials to acknowledge the problem. Our concerns are also that people are getting hurt by dangerous animals. The only solution is for us all to unite and work together I hope that day will come soon.Please look at my other Video and it will show you what we are up against, as are so many Communities throughout New Mexico and other areas of the USA. I hold on to this…………
“Faith is being sure of what we hope for.
And certain of what we do not see”

Dedicated to All U.S. Animal Shelters & Rescues

http://www.TheDogLiberator.com

Dogs shown in this video come from various cities in Central Florida, Georgia, Nevada, California, St. Louis, New Mexico, and cities inbetween.

Support spay and neutering programs and stop the senseless killing of 4 million dogs and cats in America, many of which are inhumanely gassed. 60% of all dogs and cats euthanized do not have any medical or behavior problems.

Owner-surrendered pets do not go through waiting periods, unlike strays.

Support the measures being taken to lower our current animal over-population in cities throughout the country.

Stop the Gassing. Ask how you can help.
